Guiding Through Tradition

In the spirit of the Gospel and the Carmelite Tradition, Crespi engages the student in three interlocking dimensions: Community, Service, and Prayer. We continue to build a community that listens and bears witness to the divine plan through the promotion of justice in the service of the whole person. Under the guidance of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Carmelite schools are places of prayer and contemplation, committed to living the gospel of social justice through our daily actions and interactions with the wider community.

Cultivating 21st Century Learners

We understand how boys develop into young men. Through smaller class sizes, research-based best practices, and the latest technological tools, we create an environment that cultivates 21st century learning. A collaborative spirit permeates the academic fabric of the school. With the support of our learning community, these young men are ready to face academic challenges with greater depth. Through struggle and hard work, our young men are able to gain strong self-efficacy.

Your Journey Starts Here

We prepare young men to take ownership of their education by encouraging their intellectual curiosity. With accessible resources and support, Crespi students develop a self-advocacy that ensures success in college. Learn what steps need to be taken to earn admittance to Crespi Carmelite High School. Let our Admissions Office assist you in your journey with all of your application and registration needs.

Men of Character

There is a special bond that binds all members of the Crespi Family: it is through brotherhood that young men come to understand the value of community. We are all called to strive for fairness and honesty in our dealings with others, to hold ourselves to high moral standards, to treat everyone with respect, and strive for excellence in everything we do as Celts. At Crespi, we strive to develop students that are men of character and, together with these young men, to create a school we can all be proud of and serve as a model for others.

Crespi Athletics Home

Our Carmelite philosophy focuses on the development of the whole person. Competitive athletics, properly conceived and executed, are an integral part of the overall educational experience of the Crespi student.

The successful athlete must have a strong will - the will to win, the will to persevere despite discouragement and seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and the will to discipline himself for his own good and that of the team. These qualities, developed and nurtured in athletics and ready to be carried over into more important aspects of life, provide the essential nature of Crespi athletics. The goal for athletes and teams is to perform at 100% of their capabilities. If something is worth doing, it is worth doing well. Each athlete is encouraged to strive for excellence within the limitations of his individual capabilities and talents.

The Crespi Man Fund

The CMF is the financial heart and soul of our school and helps sustain Crespi’s exceptional programs and activities. The gifts you make on an annual basis benefit every student, every program, everyday and support the operation and mission of the school.

Prayers and Liturgies

Prayers and Liturgies

Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life. As a community, we pray as a school everyday using prayers written by the students. Teachers also begin their classes with prayer, and we participate in the national “See You at the Pole” and “National Day of Prayer” campaigns as well as offer several retreat and prayer opportunities for our students. Our faculty also participates in a faculty retreat as well as several faith formation opportunities throughout the year.

INTENTIONS

Students and families are also encouraged to inform Campus Ministry of any special prayer requests that they would like for us to pray, and we have a bowl of intentions in the main office where students and families can write their intentions anonymously. During our school liturgies, this bowl is brought up to the altar and the intentions are kept in prayer by our entire community.

LITURGIES

As a Crespi community, we come together for Mass about once a month. These school masses are held at Our Lady of Grace Church (across the street from us) and are open for all families and friends to attend. They start at about 10:00 AM. We also have several other liturgies during a variety of events throughout the year.
